Wilderness Adventures for Homeschoolers: Fall Session
Homeschooling students ages 11 – 15 are invited to join us for a weekly wilderness adventure program based at Kroka's campus in Marlow, New Hampshire. The group will meet each Wednesday for a full day outdoors with activities in the wilderness and on the farm. Participants will develop skills for cooperative living in nature, competence in practical adventure sports, and appreciation for the natural history and ecology of New England.
Program days will alternate between day-long outings in the local area and skill-building days on the Kroka farm and campus. Each day follows the same rhythm:
8:30-9:00 AM: Drop-off and morning farm chores
9:30 AM: Morning meeting
10:00 AM: Departure for daily activity
12:00 PM: Lunch break
3:00 PM: Return to campus and clean-up
3:30 PM: Pickup and departure
On-campus activities will include firemaking, shelterbuilding, hiking, farming, traditional crafts and handwork, and service projects. Adventure activities include rock climbing, rappelling, canoeing, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, and map and compass navigation. Each semester culminates in a 3-day student-designed overnight expedition challenge to practice teamwork and skills learned.

Coming to us from Burlington, Vermont, Colton brings to Kroka a love for living in community and a contagious joy for the wild world. When he is not fighting oil pipelines in British Columbia, teaching at Crow’s Path, or running ultra marathons, Colton can be found leading Kroka students on laughter-filled forest romps. |

A year-round denizen of the Kroka village, Hope is a seasoned Kroka teacher and an expert skier. Whether on the river or in the mountains, you can find Hope leading school-groups and summer expeditions, cooking delicious food, and reading high fantasy (occasionally all at the same time). When not at Kroka, Hope can be found nearby ski-instructing as many as fifty kindergarteners at once. |
